And the place is to be sought and one to be preferred before
a nother for quietnesse to praye and for liuely preachynge
and for the preachynge of soch monumentes and so furth. And
so longe as the people so vsed them in the olde testament /
they were acceptable and plesaunt to god and god was saide
to dwell in the temple. But when
the significacions beinge lost / the people
worsheped soch thynges for the thinges selues / as we now

doeth it not for the place but for the peoples sakes whom
he wold call vn to the knowlege of
his name / and not to worshepinge him moare in
one place then in a nother.
